I blame our nation's schools. If those scammers had gotten a quality education, they would have used the tried-and-true ponzi scheme instead of this laughable scheme. Or possibly hired themselves as "business consultants". Either-or.

'Course, the business owners should be slapped several times and made to sit in a corner. Sheesh....alchemy didn't translate lead into gold in the bad-old-days, and it won't today either.

Sort of o/t butt:
Has anyone else noticed that we get something on the blog, discuss it in an intelligent and fair manner and then a couple of days later it's on several of the major news networks and late night shows? I wonder if we're being watched...
Okay, back o/t.

I work with a business partner that, back in the early 80's, invested in an oil well that hadn't yet been built. He still refers to that transaction as his $50,000 tuition to the school of Hard Knocks.

Sad to say, this is a variant of one of the oldest confidence tricks on the books. Con men in the past used a "duplicating" box that did the same trick. In fact, it was the basis of "Dragnet" script about 50 years ago. Dum da dum dum, indeed.

I have mixed feelings about this. The scammers should go to jail. No doubt about that. But the scammees are dumber than rocks and are bound to lose the money in some way or another.

Siouxie we won't let anything happen to you. btw, I think it's great your extremely jealous boyfriend has decided to give up professional boxing and concentrate on his professional weight lifting so he can spend more time with you and your 6 children. iycmd.

Yes he is mtb! They had to let him go because he didn't have enough fear and he scared the terrorists too much. Betsy I think Siouxie expanded that moat last spring. She had to because the Pit Bulls kept trying to eat the croc's.

cindy - I used to see all of Dave's material on Leno anywhere from 1-4 nights later. Funny, that, eh? I always figured the writers dropped by here for fodder. Occasionally I'd hear a oneliner that bore GREAT resemblance to something said by Dave or one of the blogits, also. You gotsta be wary in this media-savvy world!

Also, a year or so ago we all turned in some guy who kept posting Dave's (and some of the other bloggits') original material verbatim on other boards claiming it as his own. Blatant plagiarism is MUCH easier to spot with the advances on the internet.
